4.5.1 Description of sealing

The MACS TubeSealer has several safety functions that identify whether it is possible to seal the tubing before sealing is attempted. If the heat sealer does not start, see chapter 5 “Troubleshooting” for further information. The sealing process is based on radio frequency technology. Active sealing and sealing completion are indicated by a yellow light. The sealing process stops automatically when a proper seal is achieved. Temperature adjustments are not required.

The indicator on the hand unit shows different light indications depending on the status of the heat sealer (see Table 4.2).

Indicator Description

Yellow light RF-energy is being applied to the sealing electrode. Light turns off when sealing is completed.

Red flashes Overheating, sealing function is blocked.

Red light for one second In case of short circuit, sealing function is blocked.

Table 4.2: Indicator lights of the hand unit

The tubing must be dry on the outside.

1. Place the tubing to be sealed down in the bottom of the slot of the hand unit. Check that the tubing is placed between the electrodes in the slot.

2. Press the grey trigger on the hand unit to bring the two electrodes closer together until the light on top of the hand unit illuminates. The sealing procedure will commence automatically. The sealing time is normally 0.5 to 1.5 seconds; after a maximum of 6 seconds, the RF is turned off.

Throughout the sealing process, a yellow light on the front of the hand unit is switched on. When this light goes out, the grey trigger may be released and the sealing is complete. The intelligent sense control in the hand unit detects, controls, and adjusts the sealing process to provide the best sealing quality for the type of tubing used. See Table 4.2 for the light indications on the hand unit, in case of problems.

3. When the light turns off, sealing is finished. Release the trigger and remove the tubing. Note: If the seal trigger is released, the sealing process stops.

22

4. The center of the seal pattern is very thin and pulling both sides will divide the tubing into two pieces.

5. Check the tubing for leakage. In case of sealer malfunction (intermittent operation, poor seals quality), call Miltenyi Biotec Technical Support for assistance.

Risk of loss of cell product. Multiple seals made closer than the recommended distance may result in rupture of the sealed tubing segment. If multiple seals are made along a length of tubing, they should be at least 1 cm (½ inch) apart.

4.5.2 Environmental requirements

Safety and performance of the MACS TubeSealer may be compromised. Safety and performance of the heat sealer may be compromised if it is used outside its specifications. Do not use the heat sealer outside its specifications.

To optimize the performance of the heat sealer, refer to the operation conditions described in Table 4.1 and observe the following:

• When not in use, the heat sealer should be placed in the holder next to the CliniMACS Prodigy, free from vibrations and risk of shocks, dust, solvents, and acidic vapor.

• Handle the heat sealer with care in a clean environment.

4.6 Cleaning and disinfection

The MACS TubeSealer requires minimal maintenance for efficient operation. Follow the cleaning and disinfection procedure described below.

Risk of electric shock or damage to the heat sealer. For safety reasons, always disconnect the hand unit from the CliniMACS Prodigy. Biohazardous material must be treated as potentially infectious at all times. In the event of spill, appropriate protective clothing should be worn during cleanup procedures. After removing residual biological material, surfaces which have been in contact with biohazardous material must be disinfected.

The surface of the heat sealer is compatible with the following disinfectants:

• Aldehyde up to 3%, e.g. Melsitt® 1 3% or Kohrsolin® 2 FF 3%,• Amphotenside up to 2%, e.g. Tensodur 2% (MFH Marienfelde GmbH,

Hamburg) or • Ethanol up to 80%.

Alternatively, a freshly prepared solution of diluted sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) may be used to disinfect surfaces which will not be harmed by the solution. Diluted solutions from one part bleach to ten parts water may be used. Regardless of the “sterilant” or disinfection solution used, remember to remove any residue to ensure that the surfaces of the heat sealer are not subject to corrosion or discoloration. Discard all materials in contact with biohazardous material according to institutional policies regarding the disposal of biohazardous materials.

Do not disinfect or sterilize any part of the heat sealer through autoclave or with ethylene oxide gas. To do so, will render the heat sealer unusable and void the warranty. Do not dip the unit in liquid, as it is not waterproof. Intruding liquid will result in malfunctions, tiny arcs, and void the warranty.

Cleaning the hand unit is required if biohazerdous material spillage occurs. Otherwise cleaning of the hand unit is recommended once per week.

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the heat sealer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the heat sealer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the heat sealer.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Use of this heat sealer adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.

Based on technical limitations of the internal power supply voltage, inter-ruptions on power supply input lines for longer than 10 ms may lead to cessation of the sealing process (power failure). The sealing process cannot be resumed after a power failure. It is recommended that the heat sealer is powered from an uninterruptible power supply or a battery that starts within 10 ms.
